I haven't taken much time to write this week, so here goes with the update, starting with Uncle Jim's 90th Birthday party!
Below are pictures from the party. We had a great many people from the family there. Most exciting for us was that Geoffrey and Callie were able to attend. Geoffrey's wife, Jill, is expecting twins in January and we waited until the last minute to see if he could come. The doctor let them know that it was OK on Thursday and we all piled into our minivan on Friday for the 7 hour drive. If you haven't ever made a trip with a 2-, 3-, and 4-year old, you are missing out on something fun!
Here is a picture of all in attendance:
And one of the birthday boy. Doesn't he look young!
One bonus of the trip was that we were super close to the beach. We snuck away on Saturday evening for a few minutes in the sand. It was chilly, with the sea breeze. See the surfer in the background? Just looking at them made me really cold. We had a great time playing, until Scooter got a little too close to the surf and ended up soaking wet. It abruptly ended our play time!
We came home on Sunday and had some time to recover and get ready for Christmas. One bummer of the holiday, was that Roo had a fever and both boys shared a cold. Scooter, Derrick and I went to the 4:00 service at church, while Nana & Pop stayed at home with Roo. After dinner, the boys opened one gift -- their Christmas Jammies! Here they are sporting their new bedtime duds.
I just realized that we didn't get many good pictures on Christmas morning. Roo was so sick that he never actually opened many gifts. It was wonderful and relaxing to be in our own home. We've enjoyed catching up on sleep this week, watching movies, and doing some "spring" cleaning. The boys are both back at 100% now.
